Ms. Jaffrey is so charming. I adore her. My mother back in the 70's bought a multitude of her recipe books. My father was born in India

[@theguynextdoor4978]

Madhur is definitely our virtual Indian food grandma/mother depending on age. She taught me so much about Indian cooking at home.

[@horsenuts1831]

Living out in the sticks back in the 1970s, and with only three TV channels, Madhur Jaffrey was most people's introduction to Indian cooking (although we knew some retired folk in our village from the British Raj who would knock up a few samosas from time to time - my introduction to Indian food). I inherited my first copy of her seminal book from my mother and wore it out, and later bought another copy. She's a superstar!

Would love to see this back on TV, Madhur is such a wonderful lady

[@gilliandidierserre4190]

Wonderrful as always Madhur Jaffery is so to the point👍

[@Autumn74]

I grew up watching Madhur Jaffrey in the 80s, she a brilliant and authentic chef and actress ❤

[@kevindodds5441]

Wow lovely seeing you again, you were /are one of my most inspirational proponents of giving honest advice on how to enjoy spiced dishes at home, i use that term because as you say politely it is wrong to assume that a Country the size of India has one cuisine, one guy i love to watch on his KZbin channel “Latif Inspired” who basically does BIR food for us to enjoy, i think he is Bangladeshi, it my sound like a silly bucket list but i intend at some time to have a meal at his restaurant in Stoke on Trent. Thank you so much for all of your advice over the years, i think if i am not mistaken i bought a Kadhi after buying one of your Videos, in-fact a small collection which i probably still have somewhere, i am going to dig them out but dont know if i have a device on which to watch Video. Thanks for your great content!

Indian food and beer go together like butter on bread.

[@robtudor3785]

CTM was invented in UK. I agree the BIR style.

[@unicornlens]

I had the pleasure to be an audience during Madhur’s lecture and presentation in SF several years ago. Such a wonderful and classy lady. Much respect. 💗

[@leekshikapinnamneni4835]

I love Madhur.

[@Kimllg88]

great actress as well! Her performance as the evil Beghum in Heat and Dust was unforgettable

[@robtudor3785]

No coconut powder or almond powder for sweetness?

[@theguynextdoor4978]

I think her understanding of a tikka masala comes from an Indian home cook's perspective. Almond powder, coconut powder, base gravy etc are a BIR (British Indian restaurant) thing. In India, they often use cashew nut paste as a thickener, for creaminess. BRITISH Indian food is an entirely different thing from authentic regional Indian food. In fact, most of the Indian food in the UK is considered generic by Indian/desi communities, and it's for the most part cooked by Bangladeshis.

Do you use Ghee as part of your everyday cooking?🧐🤔😊👩🏻‍🍳👌🏼🙋🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@swarupdey1542]

It depends on the food item though

[@francofan100]

I hope her daughter the Hollywood star is aware of mum’s UK culinary pedigree 😂

Who's her daughter

Maranaaaat no it's marinate

[@user-rb5zd2cl9x]

The lady is a master chef, we all can agree on that. However she lacks a little bit about geography. India is not a size of Europe, as she says in MasterClass advertisement. India size is 1/3 of Europe. 3,287,263 km² does not equal to 10,180,000 km², at least to me.

[@ggs511]

They were eating putzi before we gave them the gift of our cuisine.

[@EhsanMusic]

Do you like beef aswell

[@randyschwaggins]

I find it very amusing to see the invention of the term 'BIR cuisine'. Basically it stands for - British Indian Restaurant cuisine - a name made up by white British people to allow them to excuse the poor excuse for Indian food that they have been served up for decades by predominantly Bangladeshi immigrants. In order to not face the reality that dishes they know as Vindaloo, Rogan Josh, Dopiaza or Pathia are abominations of the authentic versions...and that dishes such as Madras are simply made up...white British people simply made their own standard...that of BIR. By doing that they gave themselves a defence against Indians who would accuse their version of Indian food as substandard. As a comparison, it's interesting to see that British versions of Italian dishes such as ragu bolognese or carbonara are not given the title 'BIR' as well...where the I stands for Italian rather than Indian. I have met many white British who will tell me (as an Indian who knows how to make authentic Indian food) that I don't know what I am talking about when I say that the British curry house version of a Vindaloo is simply not right. BIR is now used as a way for white British people to say...this is our food...not yours. But what BIR really is - is traffic light Indian food by numbers...with invented labels. Enjoy it if that floats your boat...but please don't try and make out that it's worthy of the I in BIR...😂

[@brycemcewen6146]

True mate but I think it's fine for a culture to adapt what they like and combine it with other cultures recipes as long as they don't pretend it's the same

[@MusclesNOTtattoos]

There is no way that people in india eat korma and vindaloo. Curry is very much an English creation. Its ours.

[@Uhhmelmuhay]

You’ve got absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

[@Reppiirezz666]

no u stole it everyone knows lol...

[@MusclesNOTtattoos]

@@Reppiirezz666 British Army invented it. They mixed spices with gravy to cover up stale meat. Fact. First ever curry sauce made by brits.

[@samnigam3451]

I disagree it's all Indian food not English

[@foxernator]

Chicken Tikka Masala is not Indian lmfao it was invented in England. Chinese is a bit more traditional but you wouldn't get most of the dishes in most parts of China/HK

[@denisenilsson1366]

It's Anglo-Indian.

[@foxernator]

@@denisenilsson1366 Don't you mean British?!?
